Manager Update decline in support for MS updates?

One of my colleagues told me that VMware Update Manager is in decline in support for all updates accept specific VMware.

Is this true?

We plan to deploy a strategy update from MS Windows using VMware Update Manager, and will look for another solution if that is the case.

Thank you

Yes, this is the case, see release notes

Update Manager 4.1 and its subsequent update releases are the latest editions of the product to support digitization and the rehabilitation of patches for Windows and Linux guest operating systems and the applications that run within a virtual machine. (A list of these operating systems and of applications is available in the section scan and restore of Virtual Machines and Applications).  This capability will be removed in the next major release. If you use this possibility today, you should start planning your transition.
